Vandersteen 2WQ vs Martin Logan Depth


My 2-Way monitors have Accuton drivers and are very fast and high resolution. I am looking for a fast, musical and accurate subwoofer.

I have tried the REL R35 and B&W ASW 750, but these subwoofers were slow, and were not able to match my speakers' speed and resolution.

After doing some research, I have filtered down to Vandersteen 2WQ and Martin Logan Depth (or Depth i). I am open to other suggestions also.

Which of these subwoofers are fast, and which one do you think will blend better with my speakers.

The 2Wq is a different breed of animal in that it hooks quite differently than other subs. It hooks to the outputs of your amp and tracks the signature of it. The amp is receiving a rolled off input from the included x-over. Your amp is only producing a musical signal that rolls off the lows below 100 hz. This allows your amp to work much more efficiently and sound better. The full description can be found on the Vandersteen website. I have found that the 2Wq integrates quite seemlessly into my system. More so than anything else I've listened to. You really don't even know it is there until you play something with incredibly deep bass and by then the walls will be rattling!
